Job Description
Job Description
Onsite in SJ, 5 days a week.
Vertical: Engineering
Description
Develop, implement and optimize C/C++ code for the Motion Sensor and/or Positioning algorithms within our embedded software solution.
Improve the software implementation for efficiency in code footprint, throughput and CPU/RAM usage
Optimize parameters in the software solution to improve KPIs (Key Performance Indices) per the requirements from the customer and the target use cases of the solution
Develop necessary software tools for the analysis
Collaborate effectively with teams within and outside the organization for realizing the best product outcomes
Prepare and present detailed technical reports on algorithms, software and test results
Algorithm development may include areas such as pedestrian navigation, Dead Reckoning (DR), vehicular navigation, sports activity optimization using GNSS and various motion sensors under challenging environments, precise GNSS navigation (e.g. PPP, RTK) and scenarios necessary to enhance product performance KPIs.
Travel internationally and/or domestically to support product optimization for customers and to collaborate with team members in other geographies
Requirements
Master with 3+ years or PhD (preferred) related experience in Electrical Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Applied physics, Aeronautical Engineering or related disciplines.
Embedded software development in C/C++ and rapid prototyping in Python or MATLAB
Hands-on experience in Motion Sensor software development, Kalman Filter, GNSS/MEMS integration and sensor fusion
Experience with Jira, Gerrit, Git
Analysis of complex software to determine anomalies and potential areas of improvement
Strong debugging skills
Understanding about VIO (Vision Inertial Odometer) is plus
Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
Able to work with minimal supervision, and highly collaborative in a team environment
Fast learning, hard-working, and self-driven
